Remember: Autonomous Trains – Old News There is a narrative that autonomous vehicles/driverless cars will solve the worlds problems and that the current PT services are old school and needs replacement. Automated PT is old news. There are no current working models of driverless cars, all are in test phases. Automated Train Systems (GoA 4) : Americas: 22 Asia: 30 Europe: 20 Automated Systems (GoA 2 & 3): > 100 worldwide In Europe Automated Trains moved more than 1 billion pax in 2015.

Data and Technology allows Sharing • Current explosion in the market is around: • Data/Technologythat allows coordination of origins, destination and travel times. • Payment systems that are easy and safe • Data that improves service provision • Applications: • Single Trips – Uber, Lyft….etc • Multi/shared trips – • FLX, Via, Door2Door, GoOptiGrabaTaxi…etc • Price = f(Time Flexibilty and Sharing)
Mobility as a Service - MaaS The way customers obtain information about, pay for, and plan their travel. MaaSoperators will be public or private entities, and will directly interact and broker services with all regional transportation service providers. Customers will be able to purchase monthly packages (from the MaaS provider) that are tailored to their transportation needs, or will be able to pay-as-you-go. Further, a customer’s MaaS subscription will be usable anywhere, similar to mobile phone roaming.
Are we keen to share? Can it go below 1?

Latest Mind-set Is there really practical alternatives to old fashioned PT? The current narrative is that public transport is old and not working and that new modes can cost-effectively provide better and cheaper alternatives. There is also occasionally implication that new modes are held back by old-style thinking about public transport. Why: Driven by the Private Sector and Marketing Initiatives?

Future Better modelling and Planning of PT - services, demographic trends and travel patterns. PT will improve mobility - smarter, more & personalized. However, limited to small percentage unless we seriously address and focus on the Minibus Taxi Service Providers. However, we need to sort out the basics and until we do the majority of PT users will not benefit and will not have: “Available, on-time, clean, affordable and safe basic modes of PT” Still remains to be seen what the market is going to do with autonomous vehicles and shared mobility.
